The framework would be comprised of assets/job aids that facilitate efficient planning and execution of DW/BI testing, such as:SQL queries against source and target databasesSQL queries to compare data at each stage of transformationCustom-built, reusable test utilities (e.g., Excel macros) to populate data from source

Systems and reports automate comparison and flash data errors. Such utilities have the following advantages:Reduction in human errors of omission in identifying data mismatches.Productivity enhancementReusability across different stages and objectsTemplates to track defects/test resultsTest artifacts-test strategy, test plan and test cases; a common and largely re-usable templates of these documents can prove handy ingaining speed in initiating testing for new functional areas/reports/projects.
